Correct Answer : 4
Solution :
The correct order of the sentences is DBEAC, which logically organises the information as follows:
D introduces the topic by stating that laughter is a natural way to reduce stress and improve well-being, setting the foundation for the rest of the passage. B follows by explaining how laughter works in the body, triggering the release of chemicals that help us relax and feel happy. E builds on this by emphasising that even a short amount of laughter can have a positive impact on our mood and tension levels. A then gives practical examples of how laughter can be included in daily life, such as watching funny shows or sharing jokes.
C concludes by summarising the benefits and encouraging the use of laughter as a daily habit for better mental and emotional health. This order ensures a smooth progression from defining laughter's benefits, to explaining its effects, to offering examples, and finally reinforcing the overall message.
The third sentence after rearrangement in the correct order DBEAC is E. Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
